Every successful young leader wants to reach the peak of their industry. We asked 10 Gen.T honourees from Hong Kong to describe what the word means to them. Here's what they said

Last month, we unveiled the 400 honourees on the Gen.T List 2019 at launch events across Asia. 

Before meeting many of them for the first time, we identified a list of commonalities that ties these leaders from diverse industries together. Whether an entrepreneur, a politician or a top chef, we surmised, you need grit, you must have impact, you need to be innovative, and so on. 

We took these words and asked the honourees to define them for us in our new series, Two-Minute Dictionary. 

Above We asked 10 Gen.T honourees in Hong Kong, what’s the meaning of ‘peak’? From NGO founders to an Olympic athlete, see what our honourees had to say about reaching the peak in their industries

First up was grit, then innovation, and now we're defining peak. We asked 10 Hong Kong honourees from the Gen.T List 2019 to tell us what the word means to them. Watch the video to see what they had to say.
